Arctan2 Calculator (atan2 of y and x)

atan2(y, x) is not atan(y/x): it reads the signs of both arguments to place the angle in the right quadrant over the full −180°…180° turn, and it stays defined when x = 0. Enter x and y, read the angle in degrees or radians, see the quadrant and the point plotted. For a single ratio with no quadrant information, use the arctan calculator instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is Arctan2 Calculator (atan2 of y and x)?

atan2(y, x) is not atan(y/x): it reads the signs of both arguments to place the angle in the right quadrant over the full −180°…180° turn, and it stays defined when x = 0. Enter x and y, read the angle in degrees or radians, see the quadrant and the point plotted. For a single ratio with no quadrant information, use the arctan calculator instead.

What does it take into account?

It factors in it reads the signs of both arguments to place the angle in the right quadrant over the full −180°…180° turn, and it stays defined when x = 0. Enter x and y, read the angle in degrees or radians, see the quadrant and the point plotted. For a single ratio with no quadrant information, use the arctan calculator instead. Change any of them and the output follows immediately.

When would I actually use this?

Reading a number written another way: a Roman numeral on a monument, a hexadecimal colour, a binary byte, or a fraction that needs reducing.

What is the most common mistake?

Assuming a decimal fraction survives a change of base. A tenth is exact in decimal and infinitely repeating in binary, which is why 0.1 + 0.2 is not 0.3 in most programming languages.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Common Factor Calculator is the closest one after this: Find every common factor of 2 to 10 numbers, with the greatest common factor highlighted and coprime pairs flagged.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Divisibility Test Calculator and e Digits Calculator (Euler's Number) — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

Base conversion and number-theory results are exact. Roman numerals follow the standard subtractive form used since the Middle Ages, which is not the only one the Romans themselves used.
